1 Delivery and transport data/ create shipping note 1.1 General information With WebEDI it is possible to create rich- and poor ASN. Rich ASN: The shipment contains packaging information, the barcode labels has to be printed from WebEDI and fasten at the transport units. Poor ASN: The shipment contains no packaging information. Labels from WebEDI not have to be used. Even, if packaging master data are send to WebEDI. The supplier does not have to take care on packaging information from WebEDI. The responsible Valeo plant decides together with the supplier, if he has to send rich- or poor ASN. 1.1.1 Test cases With the WebEDI OBP the shipping note process has been enriched with packaging data and labels. With this version it is also possible to manage mixed pallets. Enclosed you find some examples, which are manageable and which are tested during a prototype phase. Each colour is a different product. To make this process more visible, we have also made some examples beginning on chapter 1.2. Page 3
1.1.2 Packaging and weight master data For working most efficient with the Valeo WebEDI it is mandatory to store packaging master data for each product you deliver to Valeo. The inner packaging information will be send automatically with the delivery schedule to WebEDI and stored in the packaging master data of WebEDI. In this example, the packaging instruction is a green box, with the reference number 092-057- 99-99 and 50 pieces of the product 472-018-99-99 inside. The barcode label Valeo UC will be print. If you add the weights for the packaging and the part, WebEDI can automatically calculate the net weight and cross weight for the shipment. The external packaging has to be add from the supplier manually once for each product, when creating the first shipment, based on the recommendation of the Valeo plant. More details about packaging master data you will see in the examples later on. Please do not insert intermediate packaging. This is not possible to manage with our internal ERP system at the moment. 1.1.3 Automatic weight calculation If you get following message, when generating the shipment, you can ignore and fill up manually the net- and the cross weight for the shipment or you can maintain the weights for the packaging and the parts. Page 4
Maintain the weights for parts and packaging: Click on edit delivery note item: Click on additional data and fill up the net weight for each part. Check also the weight for the packaging master datas: If you change anything in the packaging master data, please save, before you go back to the main screen. Now you can make a weight calculation, when you click on the icon weights. You will see the net- and the cross weight will be calculated automatically for the shipment. If you click on the icon generate, the weights and the packaging will be calculated new, based on the master data. Page 5
1.1.4 Different selection possibilities to create a shipment With the VALEO WebEDI version you have different alternatives to create shipments: Alternative 1 delivery date: The WebEDI application will make a proposal for a shipment based on the firm quantities of the delivery schedules, Kanban- or pullist calls. The application will propose the next date to deliver automatically. Also backlog will be taken in account Alternative 2 Intermediate demand: The WebEDI application will propose only the quantities of delivery schedules, which are marked as intermediate demand or backorder Alternative 3 Backorder: The WebEDI application will propose only the quantities of delivery schedules, which are marked as backorder Alternative 4 Pickup-Order: The WebEDI application will propose all open pickup orders available for the proposed / selected date. Alternative 5 Extra delivery: With this selection you will change to the next screen and have to create the shipment on your own, based on the available delivery schedules. Please take care, if you work with that function that the demands of your delivery schedules are not updated with the shipments. If you move back to the Alternative 1, also shipped quantities will be proposed again! We recommend to work with the Alternative 1. 1.1.5 Backlog management If you get following screen, when creating a shipment with the mode delivery date. The corresponding plant has activated the backlog function. A Valeo plant can decide to work with the backlog function and the days, which will be taken in account in the past. In this example the demands from today and the last 4 days are proposed. With this function, WebEDI will also propose demands in the past, which are not marked as backlog or intermediate demand, not delivered yet or updated with a new delivery schedule in the meantime.

1.1.6 Shipping note number Your delivery note number has to be filled up manually for each shipment in the field No. This delivery note number is also the basis for the invoice and should be not longer then 10 digits. Please fill up your delivery note number in the first line After you are ask if you would like to add this delivery note number to all lines. If you say OK, the delivery note is added to all lines. Normally you have to fill up the same delivery note number in each line. If a Valeo plant requests you to insert different delivery note number, you can do this. For each delivery note number an inbound delivery is created at Valeo. For mixed shipment, you should use the same delivery note number for each item. For shipments based on E-REORDER, you should insert the Pickup-No. as delivery note number. The shipping number will be still filled up automatically from the system and is not important for Valeo. Please do not change this number. Page 7
Page 8
1.1.7 Delivery note number with an prefix For the Delivery note you have the possibility to work with a prefix. This prefix is part of the delivery note number. To add a prefix, you have to click on the following icon and type in the prefix. Then you have to click on the button ok to confirm this prefix. Each time, you want to change this prefix, you can do this procedure again. The prefix will be a part of the delivery note number, you send to Valeo. In this example the delivery note number send to Valeo will be DNVAL4455. Please take care on the max length of 10 digits for the delivery note number. Page 9
1.1.8 Valeo UM, UC and UC_COMPACT label Based on Odette and VDA standards Valeo has created a Valeo UM label (unit master), Valeo UC label (unit container) and UC_COMPACT label (label for small boxes). If you are working with rich ASN you have to print the labels from WebEDI and stick on the palettes (UM) and boxes (UC or UC_COMPACT). The UC_COMPACT label is especially used by the Brazilian Valeo plants. The size of the Valeo UM label is half of A4 format and is used as a palette label. The size of the Valeo UC label is a quarter of an A4 format and is used as a box label. The UC_COMPACT label has a different size compared to the UC label, also 4 could be printed on one A4 format, but in a different sequence. We have added following specific information on those labels: Valeo plant code Valeo point of consumption Delivery date and time Possibility to print Security logo and PQA The link between the packaging and the label format has to be made in the packaging master data. Or for UC_COMPACT: Example VALEO UM label: Page 10
Example VALEO UC label: Example VALEO UC_COMPACT: You can define in the packaging master data, which label has to be linked with the packaging. But also before printing the labels, you can print in another format, than proposed. If you have no different information from the Valeo plant, please use the Valeo UM label for pallet and the Valeo UC label for boxes. Page 11
1.1.9 Define the starting for the unique label number The unique label number is a very important number for the receiving area at Valeo. Normally it starts for each supplier from 1. Valeo will inform you, if you have to change the starting number. The label number should be not longer, than 9 digits, because the barcode is limited to this length. Enclosed you will find a description, how to change the starting range of label numbers. 1. During creating a shipment, you have to click on the icon edit delivery note item 2. Overwrite the PKG item number with the starting number of your range. The number must be greater then the current number!!! 3. Click on the icon back, then you will get following information Click on ok and continue your shipment. Remark: When you change the starting of the label number, after outer- and inner packaging is linked, first you have to remove the inner- from the outer packaging. Page 12
